California vineyard wedding

Liz and Armando’s California vineyard wedding at Gainey in Santa Ynez was a late-summer celebration full of love, classic design, and rustic charm. After 13 years of dating (these two were high school sweethearts!), they love to travel together, BBQ on Sundays, and scope out every cute Golden Retriever until they can get one of their own.

Armando proposed to Liz on a trip to Colombia, where is family is from, taking her completely by surprise at a beautiful restaurant in Cartagena. They chose the Santa Barbara area for their wedding after spending so much time there together (they maintained a long-distance relationship while Liz attended UCSB). They wanted their wedding to feel romantic and organic, and Gainey Vineyard certainly delivered!

Here are a few of our favorites from Liz and Armando’s sweet wedding day.
